CCW tha Heist

[turner82]

Got a stupit question for yall....

Which bolt do you guys pull for an oil change?

I use the one on the bottom left side of the motor. It's a big chrome bolt, comes out with a spring and screen filter behind it. About 2 qts of fluid will drain from here. The manual says it needs 900ml (almost 1 qt.)

It looks like there's another drain plug underneath the motor. Seen from the right side, it looks more like these magnetic plugs you guys are using. If that's the one you're using how much fluid are you draining out?

I'd like to follow up with the "stupid question". I did my first oil change last night, I used the same bolt Gardo did in his video on the underside of the engine. I could not find one on the left side with the spring/screen filter as mentioned, however my wife tells me I can't find shit even if its under my nose, so do you think one of you kind fellas could take a pic and point it out? Maybe it's not on the 2011? Am I missing anything by not pulling that bolt as well? I did drain a full quart out. I also put a quart back in.

The chinglish manual was of no help for this process, it made no mention of amounts to put in, or where to drop oil from, just that they use 15W40 for the initial fill, then you should use what's best in your climate (I just stuck with 15W40).

Thanks fellas!

I use the chrome screw on the bottom of the engine case, and fill one quart. I am using Bel Ray's "EXS" full synthetic oil. I can really see the difference in shifting between standard and synthetic oils. PIT is reccomending another brand, but it is synthetic also. I have a megnetic drain plug and hightly reccomend them.

I believe I used a Chevron oil. I may need to look into some of these synthetics, being in a small town they supply was somewhat limited, especially in a 15W40

Just to clarify, is there any type of oil filter that needs changed/cleaned that I should look into, or is it just a matter of changing the oil out every 2000KM (after the first 500 and 1,000)

There's no traditional oil filter, but there is a screen to clean out. It lives behind the chrome bolt, which is just under the left side engine case.

Perfect, thanks for pointing that out, I'll be sure to get that nice and tidy on the next change, I'll probably do that one a little sooner so I can get a good synthetic oil in

I use the B&G Sheer power, need to do another oil change tonight, the screen is behind a largish on the under side of the motor more towards the left. use carb cleaner to blow it out.
I also have a magnetic drain plug, that barnone had recommended, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/RARE-...ht_1631wt_1165

turner, I'll shoot a quick vid and show where its at

Photo at first oil change showing why a magnetic drain plug is important on the CG125 type engine in the Heist and the DF which just has a screen instead of a real oil filter.


After cleaning off metal bits that were circulating in the oil. Next oil change showed very little metal but still some. Also handy to have if suddenly you start having metal bits appear in the future.

So what exactly is the mystery Weaver carb mod? And I'm hearing that the Weaver mods to the carb and the cylinder head are a must. Anyone know if I can get these done on my Heist before it's shipped to my local shop or does Weaver do these all as aftermarket custom jobs?

Sdm shoot him a message or call him www.weaverrides.com 609 845-8634. The website sucks but his work is off the hook.
